Jiří Bradáček (1922 - 1984) A COMPOSITION

The offered sandstone sculpture in the spirit of modernism bears the typical features of the artist's exterior works. Jiří Bradáček belongs to the generation of sculptors of the second half of the 20th century, which was significantly limited in its creative freedom due to the political situation. Even before the war, he began studying at the State Ceramic School in Prague, then continued at the School of Applied Arts under Karel Dvořák and at the Academy under Karel Pokorný. He was the founder of the North Bohemian group Krok 57. His artistic expression accentuates volumetricity and the play of light and shadow.
